Old-School
This is delightful: wonderful vocals/harmonies and great instrumental playing. A debut album that reminds of just how gorgeous folk music is in talented and empathetic hands: Holly Clarke (vocals, guitar), Merle Harbron (vocals, fiddle, hammered dulcimer), Bertie Armstrong (vocals, banjo, lap steel guitar).
It is all superb, but the final three tracks are especial triumphs - Walking Boss, John Randall, and the most beautiful of all folk songs with a lineage of beautiful versions to which this has now attached itself, Willie O' Winsbury.
